Production of Volkswagen’s Tiguan compact SUV has broken the six million mark and the car was the company’s biggest seller globally in 2019.
VW built 910,926 Tiguans in 2019 and the model is sold in 80% of the countries on earth. VW says it’s one of the world’s three most popular SUVs.
On average, a Tiguan rolled off the production line every 35 seconds last year.
The model premiered at the 2007 Frankfurt motor show; a major update debuted in 2011, and Tiguan production broke the 500,000 barrier for the first time. The second generation Tiguan arrived in April 2016.
VW builds Tiguans at four factories around the world; NZ market cars are made in Germany.
The next generation Tiguan is due to arrive this year and the range is expected to include a plug-in hybrid (PHEV).VW already sells a hybrid Tiguan in China.
